OUR TREATMENT OF THE DISEASES
" of the respiratory passages consists in
the employment OF Medical inhalation for
its direct effects on the diseased organs;
and, at the same time, adopting such by
gienic measures and administering such
medicines by the stomach as will most ef-
fectually purify the blood. give tone to
the nervous system. and bald up ana

and general treatment.
What is MEDICAL Inhalation? Before
stating briefly what Medical Inhalation
is. We propose In s as rev @ words as possible
Medical Inhalation Is not a cure-all,
nostrum, or panacea. 1t Is not specific
rem edy for any disease. 1t is not quack
medicine, or advertised to cure any or all
the ills that flesh is heir to, an intended to
fill the pockets of its proprietors 1t Is no.
talisman, whose possession insures health
to its pnssessor without the intervention OF
sense. or judgment. Medicsl inhalation Is
none of these things.
method of taking medicines by inhaling or
breathing them into the lungs insteao OF
swallowing them into the stomach. BY In
halation. the proper medicines are appiied
directly to the seat OF the disease, in the
nose, throat or lungs; and 1t is clear to
every reasoning person how peculiarly ap.
plicable Inhalation is in the disorders OF
the organs named. If you have scalded or
burned the surface OF the body, or wounded
any limb or meiuber, you do not swallow
the remedy intended to heal the dis0r-
ganized tissue. On the contrary, you apply
II directly to the seat of the wound or IN
jury Why. then; when snnering ,hgoat from m c.
flicted with liberation of the lungs, should
you rely on medicines taken into the
stomach?
Medical Inhalation not only applies: the
proper healing remedies to the seat OF the
disease, but It applies the remedy in the
gaseous or vaporOus form, in which form,
as is well known, medicines act most power.
fully. How much greater, Tor example, is
inhaled or breathed, than many times the
quantity when swallowed into the stomach.
The me is true of chlorine, of iodine, and
of many other substances BY lnhalatlon
the medicine Is not poured into tne stomaen .f,n
system in search of malady which may be
mainly or entirelya local one; but by this
method the proper remedy Is applleo dl-
rectly to the diseased organ. VINO, altef
studying the anotomy of the lungs can
doubt that Inflammation and liberation OF
| the air-tubes and air-cells, the direct appli-
cation of the healing medicine by inhala
ton to the disea sed parts, Is the correct ana
rational method of treatment? Who. on
the other hand, can be so irrational as to
believe that the proper and direct way to
reach the diseased surfaces OF the. 1r-
passages in this case. is by the way OF the
stomach? Physiology. teaches us that the
membrane, or skin, lining the air passages
of the nose, throat and lungs, is only
slightly modified form of the same structure
| as that which covers the external surface
of the body. Why. then, should local treat
ment be proper and necessary for 1ntlam-
nations, COMPOSITIONS and ulcerations OF the
one and not be equally so In the case OF the
other?
our experience and success in treating
diseases of the nose, throat and lungs, de-
monstrates, beyond all question. that the
| true scientific treatment of these diseases is
| that treatment which combines the local
effects of medical inhalation with the con-
stitutional effects Of systematic remedies.
